Endless Ends

I want to know how the original Goya Gardenia smelled.

Their iconic Aqua Manda, too, if I'm getting wishes.

These look amazing! Cucumber Watercress Sandwiches. As do these Smoked Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches.

An old-fashioned tea party sounds divine.

As do shortie gloves and old-fashioned Southern Belle hats, all fluttery with ribbons and lace.

I'm feeling oddly festive for Spring this year.


Next thing you know I'll be breaking out the seersucker, gingham, and broderie anglaise!

When you come to London (the proper one in the UK), I'll glady take you for afternoon tea.

Gloves optional.

Really?!?!

*squeals*

I don't think I've ever had a proper British tea. Only food grabbed on the go while traveling and the US Southern kind.

Oooh! Now I have a trip goal. And then I could swing by after and see Hadrian's wall and the Isle of Skye, neither of which I managed before when I visited the British Isles.

I am unreasonably excited! *squeals again*

Gloves optional.

I always have gloves. At least, sun gloves.

Summer here is like the scorched seventh circle of Dante's Hell.

Also, I should probably be embarrassed to say that I did not know there was city called London in Texas. (Population 180. )

There are just sooooooo many small towns in Texas and the state is a smidge large.

For the edification of all - - there is also:

- New London (population ~1,000)
- "London" - a fast growing, happening suburban area in Corpus Christie*

*I'm having a hard time picturing this.

There are also many many traditional tea places on the east coast because of all the historical stuff. Clotted cream, finger sandwiches and pots of tea galore.

Fine. Snob. Relative historical sites. Back to the overlord days of British subjugation and exploitation.

I thumb my nose in your general direction.
